Well I did try and get an RPM challenge done after last years fail, but I'm still lacking enthusiasm or creativity. Hence the uninspiring title of 'The Fifth', as this was the 5th track I was working on and the only one that came close to completion…

Jessie kindly contributed her voice to this recording
